ChargEVC’s mission is to design and promote policies that replace cars that run on traditional fuel with electric-powered vehicles and assure widespread benefits, including reductions in greenhouse gases and other harmful emissions, strengthening of the utility grid, lowering and stabilizing of electricity rates, reduction of transportation costs, and a diversification of New Jersey’s primary energy supply beyond petroleum.

This is both an energy and a transportation initiative and it presents a unique opportunity for New Jersey to set a national model of thoughtful policies that promote the growth of EVs and the substantial benefits they deliver. New Jersey has the opportunity to realize these benefits and more, but only with proactive planning and policies.

—Pamela Frank, Executive Director of the newly formed ChargEVC
